ਫਰਮਾ:Tone/doc

If an article is not written in an encyclopedia-like style, add the {{tone}} template at the top. This template creates a banner stating the problem at the top of the article's page, and also adds its tagged articles to one of Wikipedia's administrative categories: Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues (shortcut to that category: CAT:STYLE).

For more about the way an encyclopedia's article is written, see Wikipedia's Manual of Style or Wikipedia:Template index/Cleanup § Style of writing.

Note: This template is a self-reference, and should not be substituted.

Usage

{{Tone}} or {{Tone|{{subst:DATE}}}}

Specific area

To make the banner apply to a more specific area, add |section, or |article:

{{Tone|section}}, or to include the date (recommended), {{Tone|section|{{subst:DATE}}}}

{{Tone|article}}, or to include the date (recommended), {{Tone|article|{{subst:DATE}}}}

Linking to a section on the talk page

To link to a relevant discussion on the article's Talk page, add the |talk= parameter. The argument (the part after the equals sign) can be either a section title on the article's own talk page, or the name of another page where discussion appears (with or without a specific section):

{{Tone|talk=Discussion of tone issues}}

{{Tone|talk=Talk:Another Article#Relevant discussion section}}

Notes

This template will add tagged articles to dated subcategories of Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues by month and to Category:All articles with style issues.

Templates that might be a better fit than this one

• Template:Advert for articles on notable topics that sound too much 'like an advertisement'
• Template:Cleanup list
• Template:Cleanup rewrite
• Template:Confusing
• Template:Context for articles that need to provide more context and general information in the lead
• Template:Copy edit for multiple problems with grammar, style, cohesion, tone or spelling; least specific template, and so least helpful in identifying problem
• Template:Fiction for articles that confuse fact and fiction
• Template:Inappropriate person for articles using "I", "we", or "you"
• Template:Notability for articles that are probably not notable. ({{Importance}} is now repurposed and should not be used in this context.)
• Template:Self-contradictory
• Template:Technical for articles or sections with excessive jargon or not enough explanation for the readers outside that article's specialty
• Template:Tone inline to tag specific statements within an article
• Template:Unreferenced for articles with zero references (use {{refimprove}} for articles with insufficient or weak references)
